EMT Bridge Training
Course-In 2014 they need to upgrade
skills and the hospital course is $325. They contacted everyone and took a
poll. Total of 34 interested in the course would cost around $11,000. To get
this from council the last opportunity is at the November council meeting. The
course is this year to be effective in January. McHenry asked if they could use
money from both years. The ordinance has to be rewritten as it says $250 for
the initial training per Pennington. She does not want to pay out of next year
for a previous year. Most of the people on the list have been on EMT team for
6-12 years per Randall. They have all signed up for the course regardless of
who pays for it per Randall.
Commissioners decided to allow Randall to as for $10,000 from Council to help
with this cost. Randall brought the
forms to sign for council request.

Greendale had approached us – their redevelopment commission
had looked at traffic tie ups for Perfect North Slopes on SR1. They wanted to
do a study to have something to take to INDOT to show the need. They (
Greendale) have funding from CVTB and Redevelopment Commission. $28,000 is cost
of the study- and American Structurepoint has been awarded the job to do the
study. They just want the county to show support (non-financial) for this at
some point. [NOTE: Perfect’s own both
sides of the road at that intersection. What else has changed since the previous
studies were done?]
